For a mutual friend’s awesome birthday, Lauren and I went for dinner and dancing (well, I went dancing, Lauren was too old / tired). The previous day, she demanded I wear these glasses with “all black, with pops of colour”. This is that request. I actually had a really hard time, since I wanted to be festive and birthday-y, but not too OTT as to detract from the birthday girl. I also wanted to appear fun and dancey, pretty.. I realize this makes me sound ridiculous but it took hours to choose something. So, the all black didn’t work out, … Continue reading “black with pops of colour!”

My new glasses came! I LOVE these so much. I don’t care that they are a wee bit on the large size for my face, they are hot pink, zebra print, cat eyes! I didn’t know that the order would be coming, so my outfit was not matchy-matchy on purpose, but it looked awesome in the end. So pleased! I got four pairs of glasses: white, green & pink, blue, and these, which brings my face-wardrobe to six pairs. Lauren claims that were I black and white, I would be Cruella DeVille; and that my purple hair and pink glasses … Continue reading If she doesn’t scare you…

I honestly don’t remember what day this was, or what shoes I wore with, or generally anything about this. So I’ll talk about having purple hair. Nuts to this! It fades immediately! Every time I shower the colour is a bit different, and here you can see blondey patches at the ends. On the other hand, red and purple look so great together! I need more red in my life, I guess. Bag, my mom’s, vintage headband, Ardene dress, TJ Maxx necklace, thrifted in NB Continue reading a rant. (a one-sentence rant).

It’s meant to be like 35 degrees with the humidex, so I’m as scantly clad as possible while remaining somewhat professional like. As well, these shoes, are my favourite shoes ever. I bought them when I was 17, they were comfortable then and still are. They’re also in amazing shape, considering. I forgot I owned this skirt, but I did laundry at the weekend and it turned up and I was like “Oh, how cute is this!?” It’s pretty cute. I like it a lot. This tee is the same as the one I wore a few days ago, in … Continue reading Summery

I’m off to the NKOTBSB concert tonight (as of writing, not posting, this isn’t scheduled til next week)! So excited. I realize this makes me ridiculous. I’m fine with it. You can see the purple more clearly in the hair today. I’m less keen on the colour in life, though, it seems to have dulled somewhat, sortof a greyish purple. I did pick up another vat of MP UV to re-colour (again), see if it intensifies. I may end up skipping shampoo for a while, or switching to something super mild. Dress, thrifted Necklace, thrifted Sandals, Ipanema Gisele Cardi, George … Continue reading NKOTBSB

You can’t really tell, unfortch, but my hair is purple. Manic Panic Ultraviolet, more precisely. It’s pretty cute in person. I spent hours on Sunday stripping and bleaching and colouring, only to end up with multicoloured grey, lavendar, red(?!), brown, and black messes on my head, but Monday morning I did a second coat of UV and it’s pretty sweet. It’s not half as bright as I would like, more of a dull lavendar than an electric purple, but it’s cute and different and therefore I am happy with it. Skirt, H&M Shoes, Tee, Old Navy Fishnets, DIMM Cardi, Zellers … Continue reading purple hair

In the summer I wear contacts a lot more often so that I can wear non-prescription sunnies, and thus have variety in my face-wardrobe. However, I apparently lost my new ones, and these just broke, so I’m down to one pair, that I can’t find. I can’t decide if this means I should look for new ones (Aviators, I think), or look for my old ones (meh.) On Saturday, I was pretty lazy, and ended up wrinklier than I realized. I was super comfy and I got a lot of compliments on the bright socks, again. Apparently people totally care … Continue reading comfy courderoy

A new policy at work means that I have a few Fridays off this summer, so for my first off-work outfit, I decided to wear leggings-as-pants. This is generally Not Okay, in my book, but for some reason I think it’s okay with a blazer? I don’t know. I really loved it, I felt very 80s and colourful and happy and summery. The AWESOME lips helped. Leggings, American Apparel Tee, Zellers Blazer, Aaron’s Bracelets, Anne Klein Scarf, Cynthia Rowley Sunnies, Franco Sarto Lips, Girl About Town, MAC Bright green socks, Calvin Klein Shoes, Arizona Belt, vintage, my mom’s I did … Continue reading summer friday!

This is Thursday’s outfit I believe, and it was pretty comfy, though I did entirely forget to grab a picture while I was still shoed. This wrap dress is made of jersey, and I cannot tell you how much I love jersey dresses. Jersey wrap dresses, even more so. The only problem I have with it is being a lady of ample bosom, it refuses to close in the chestial area, so I’m obligated to wear a tank underneath. Dress, InWear Tank, H&M Cardi, Zellers Necklace & Brooch, Lady Jane (I LOVE how this necklace looks in this light!) Toes, … Continue reading black and brown

This outfit is really boring! I zazzed it up some at work with shoes (Snakeprint Kenny Loves Penny) and a white bracelet, but I think it really needs a belt. Le tut. Skirt, thrifted Tee, Old Navy Shoes, Payless Continue reading Plain Jane
